With such diverse names as Joss Stone, Etienne de Crecy, Freestylers, Nero, Benny Benassi, Flux Pavilion, Muse, and Daft Punk thrown into Elite Force's brilliantly unforgiving blender, 'RVMPD2' is an electronic music album like no other.

here's a bit of house from 21 year old producer LANCELOT (aka Lance Gurisik) from Sydney.






Dot Hacker has an awesome new EP imaginatively named Dot Hacker:


The music of Dot Hacker is architectural, built on a foundation of bold, manipulated tones and supported by lush eclectic textures and angular rhythm. The band’s enigmatic sound comes from the collaboration of friends and founding members, Josh Klinghoffer, Clint Walsh, Eric Gardner and Jonathan Hischke
“…a majestic four-song triumph reminiscent of the Cocteau Twins and the Jesus and Mary Chain…most are densely layered, lush productions that make you want to just sit back and listen.“- The Owl Mag

Ducky, aka Morgan Neiman, has released her new EP, The Whether, here is
Ducky - Overdose as a free download, what a nice girl she is!!!

Panama - Magic (Midnight Magic Remix)
  Panama is a Sydney-based five piece founded by, Jarrah McCleary, a classically trained pianist from the age of six who grew up in the sticky heat of the Northern Territory. They’re coming out with their self-released debut single “Magic” (…nothing less than Magic!) worldwide on March 2nd. The single includes two remixes from Midnight Magic and Gavin Russom (Crystal Ark) which sound absolutely brilliant.  Eric Broucek (DFA) mixed the tracks.
 
“Australia's really been whipping out the big guns lately with some artists on the rise. Sydney-based Panama is sure to be one of them.” – Filter

Lance Herbstrong x Queen - Dragon Attack

Through stream-of-consciousness aural atmospherics, Lance Herbstrong takes you on a trip, sustaining musical momentum with sonic layers propelling the rhythms. The result is music that is ethereal and organic, of the air and of the earth, and always moving. The nation’s most esteemed climate change scientists described their first Lance Herbstrong show as a ‘motherf---ing Fun Bomb that just goes off inside you.’

VHS or Beta’s upcoming fourth album, Diamonds & Death, is a journey full of thrilling moments and unexpected turns. The album’s electronic foundation is a byproduct of the many nights VHS OR BETA DJs have manned the decks and remixes they have done in the last few years. The self-produced album travels spectacular heights to gut-wrenching plunges and is an emotional rollercoaster. The songs unfold and mutate in unpredictable ways that will transfix dance floors and bedrooms alike. The two main creative engines behind VHS OR BETA’s decade-long career, Craig Pfunder and Mark Palgy, relocated to Brooklyn from Louisville over the last two years

Boots Electric - Boots Electric Theme (featuring Brody Dalle) new solo project from Jesse Hughes of Eagles of Death Metal

 In addition to the band’s “Blood In My Eyes” video, Atari Teenage Riot is also asking their fans to participate in the video for the band’s upcoming single "Black Flags" (feat. Boots Riley of The Coup), which will be released on September 6th. You can hear “Black Flags” and read the lyrics HERE. They are calling their fans and others who support song’s ideals to make a video statement in front of a black flag, or any black surface to be included in the band’s final video. “Black Flags.” Fans are also invited to incorporate “Corpsing” into their video. Drawn from an idea the band had while “planking” at a Southern European airport, “Corpsing” is the act of laying down in a public location, covered in a black flag to represent those that have died as result of corporate greed. The band invites anyone to film themselves lip-synching to the “Black Flags” lyrics in front of a black flag or corpsing and send in their video to be included in the “Black Flags” video. All entries should be submitted to blackflags@atari-teenage-riot.net. Read the band’s full concept for the video below:

He has to be one of the most entertaining and Rock n Roll people I know. We then went to the Bowls Club where I watched football (Manchester United DESTROYING Chelsea...YAAY) and they laughed at me watching football. Then we ended up drinking even more at Jacqui's house, needless to say, leaving her place at 2:30 in the morning wasn't REALLY the brightest move in lieu of a full day's worth of work ahead of me on monday...I survived. All Good!!!!.

COOL, and THEN, my good fiend JOHN BOURKE, yes, he of Trash Yourself! (who have some new music coming as well) has started a solo project called Gosteffects and it's WAY cool, I recently got it featured for him on the Free Anton Hammerl podcast aired on the 1st of May to help get awareness internationally for the journalists being held in Libya, one of which,Anton Hammerl is a close personal friend of a few of my oldest friers, so it is close to home. John VERY kindly agreed to donate one of his tracks to them for this excellent cause which is a true measure of the man , namely John. You can expect big things from this project as John is one TALENTED muthaphunka!!!! So too is Anton Hammerl and his companions whom are being illegally kept captive in Libya by that cunt gaddafi!!! OH, how I'd love to fuck that arrogant megalomaniac up, 5 minutes alone in a room with him!!!!! The arsehole has not even allowed him to phone his wife...which is the measure of THAT "man"-pig despot murderer!!!!! FUCK YOU GADAFFI you can come over to my house ANYTIME, come alone, I will SHOW you what pain is!!!

Big Scary - Autumn
 “An obvious comparison that comes to mind would be Jeff Buckley fronting the White Stripes (and indeed they’ve been described as such), but that undersells both parties. Syme is a far better drummer than Meg White and Tom Iansek’s vocals contain an intimacy that Buckley’s showboating falsetto occasi
onally obscured.” - Beat Maga

"After last summer’s lo-fi debut ‘Radiate,’ The Rialto Burns release the ‘For The Asking’ EP on 28 March 2011 - an energetic 10 tracker full of cavernous, dark moments, electrical soaring highs, and some dirty edges. “Love, loss, hope and salvation – we’re trailing through ‘em all,” says Adam…." more can be found on the souncloud page.

Some stuff from James Parish. The Savage Nomads:

Musically difficult to pin down, in an early live review the band were described by Mojo as playing “angular psych-flavoured post-punk commentaries with disarming confidence” and that’s as close a description as any. They also sent a copy of their self-released EP last year to The Independent and made their Barometer feature in the process.
 
The band release their debut single proper, “The Magic Eye”, on May 16th via new London independent label Alaska Sounds and it will be first single released from their upcoming debut album “Coloured Clutter”, expected end of June / July. Both single and album have been mixed by Mike Crossley (Foals, Arctic Monkeys).
